Look, what's going on here is everybody is busting a gut and shooting all the messengers and blindly defending Rush because they can't see this in any other context except the war between left and right in this country, plus you also have the libertarians coming out of the woodwork again railing about privacy rights.
I'm not going to be naive and deny that folks on the other side are laughing and having a field day at this. But at it's heart this is a matter of criminal law that transcends political matters. And all of you look me in the eye, as best you can through cyberspace, and deny before God and everyone that if the situation was reversed and this were Hillary Clinton, you wouldn't be screaming "BURN THE WITCH!" But of course, that would be the OTHER side getting its big ox gored, so it would be OK.
As far as right to privacy, has that ever really existed? As an example, a relative of mine just got out of the military after 20 years, won't say which branch except that his job description was "intelligence chemist" and he made a couple of trips to Iraq following Gulf War I as part of an investigative delegation. He once told me not to type one syllable onto my computer keyboard and send it out into cyberspace unless I was unafraid for it to be read by somebody else. He wasn't smiling and he's not the kind of guy to lie about something like that.
In other words, Big Brother is watching us all right now at this very moment.
